Played this course once. That par 3 is way more difficult than the video makes it look. I hit those bunkers left-dead, big number. Great video Matt. I like the single swing thought idea.
Course management has always been the hardest for me. Early on I thought if I just hit the ball long and straight I would eventually get to the green. Knowing where and how far to hit is a big part of the game. I enjoyed watching this video and seeing what goes on in your head as you navigate a few holes.
And 16 is awesome, parred that a few weeks ago after over shooting the green on an approach shot and then chipped back on from behind the green over the hill
Great video. So I followed your play of these three holes at Rustic Canyon using a course layout I found on line. The 14th hole would have been my downfall right off the bat. To carry the hazard requires at least a 200 yard drive I think. On a great day I can maybe hit it 200 yards! Thanks for these videos, Mr. Short Game!
My main problem was addressed in this video: I get lost thinking about all the setup for the shot and it gets blurry. I now plan on alignment, posture, and grip in that order and then just focusing from then on about solid contact.
Hey, at about the 10:15 minute mark you explained you like to keep your hands close to your body. Do you have any other videos on this swing thought. That goes more into detail about why you do that?
i have a question it is somewhat complicated any insight would be much appreciated. I am 32 years old I started playing golf at about 13. Around the age of 20-21 I was a scratch golfer and a decently long hitter for the time 2008-2009 i hit the driver around 290-300 yards 7 iron about 175-180. Shortly after that i never really quit golf but maybe played a few times a year no more than 5. I just lost interest i guess. then around the age of 29 i stopped playing all together. I recently starting playing again and this is where my question begins. in the last few years while not playing i put on a significant amount of weight probably 50 pounds. I hit the ball not 20-25 yards shorter with every club but feel like im making solid contact and im hitting it fairly straight. just much shorter. I have been playing a lot and hitting a loot of balls for about the last 2 months but havent seen any increase in my distance. I since have started eating healthy to try to shed the extra weight,but im getting frustrated that the distance isnt coming back. do you guys think that its i have to redevelop the golf muscles and/or is the extra weight hurting my distance? how long should it take for the distance to start coming back. I know distance isnt everything but it defiantly helps to hit it a little further.
I like your idea of one swing thought only. I tend to have too many. Good golfing too. You should have been at that tournament for TH-cam instructors in England. You would have won it. 😊 IMHO
Great video. Enjoyed listening to your thoughts on each hole. More of these course management videos please
You are so fun to watch, talk about laidback. Great information to pass long. Thank you for your efforts.

Hey man I saw the net you have in your back yard and I was wandering if you have a vidoe on it
He did a video on his backyard setup.You just need to look through his videos.Complete with his chickens.
Hey Matt. Can you do a video on how junior golfers can generate clubhead speed and solid shots
I mean high school golfers
Now this was a good video ;) rustic canyon rocks
